Day seven...I am back...
Ready now....set go....
Wow....pain galore...I cannot believe that I am now through the hardest part.
Surgery last Monday morning brought a new hip, tons of pain, fear....
A bone bleed that required a blood transfusion and 5 extra days in the hospital. for anemia.
I just could not see the light..
Lucky me...saw old friends, met new friends...and once again, survived.
These friends have warmed my heart.
I am on some pretty heavy pain medications every 4 hours.
Today, the pain broke..and I was able to move around enough to sew. without screaming.
I could not have made it without the support of my blogging friends..xo
Today, I was able to rest outside on this glorious day.
My girl asked what I would like to eat.
I said Oreos.....I think our definition of comfort food is different..
Here are 21 pot-luck travel covers...tute on front of my blog.
I had these all prepped for threading the elastic from a sitting position..like now.
Pinned the hand warmers for teachers..
If I continue to improve like this...(knock on wood), I will sew these together tomorrow
after physical therapy. I am grateful that my PT will come to me.
She is the same one one that I had for my knee, which is very nice.
Wonderful Rachel turned up at the hospital with Hugs and Kisses..
I love you Rachel.
Now, my girl found them and Hugs and Kisses are being rationed...
I am so happy. the surgery is over.
I am so happy to have hope again.
I am so happy to have a daughter like my Emily.
I am so happy to once again...see the light.
I am so happy to have a daughter like my Emily.
I am so happy to once again...see the light.

Good Morning, dear friend! You have been in my thoughts and prayers and it's good to hear that you are as "spunky" as usual. Keep on "keepin' on" and you will marvel at how a pain-free hip (or hips in my case) make your life better! Chin up, pretty lady...
So glad to see your daughter is taking good care of you! I remember my appendix ruptured a few years back and my eldest came to my rescue! Thank God for daughters! As always...I am so buoyed by your incredible approach to life with all the challenges you have had to face! YOU GO GIRL!!! YOU ARE A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH! Those grands are so very lucky to have an amazing grandma like you! Sending you most positive thoughts and prays for a quick recovery so you can show off what you are doing! Huge Hugs from Canada eh? hee hee....Margo
